Only as hot as the aquastat setting on the boiler tells it to get. Or in the case of a reset system where the water temp is reset up or down based on outdoor air temp, only as hot as the reset schedule (which is adjustable) set into the controller tells it to get given the outdoor conditions on that particular day.

Do all hot water heaters have the same temp?

no, depending on altitude it may change


Why is a hot water heater called a hot water heater?

It is called this as it heats up or brings up the temperature of cold water to hot. In other words, it is producing hot water by heating it. Some people incorrectly believe it is redundant to refer to "hot water" and "heater", but there are many other types of heaters, so the distinction of one creating hot water is entirely proper.


What would the water temperature be in a central heating unit if it was a model for electricity?

I'm not sure of your question.In the USA, most hot water heaters and furnaces are independent units. They can be either gas (methane) or electric powered. The hot water heaters are thermostatically controlled, and thus the water temperatures in the gas and electric water heaters would be essentially the same. The speed at heating the water depends on the HW heater design, but both gas and electric HW heaters would be similar in speed.I've heard of combined Hot water heaters and furnaces in use in Russia, with the side effect of only having hot water in the winter.Here in the USA, electric furnaces come in 2 varieties. Heat Pumps function somewhat like an air conditioning unit, and deal with heat differentials. In mild temperatures, they are more efficient than direct electric heating. However, the temperature increase is relatively moderate. It is likely they could only heat water to a "luke-warm" temperature.Using conventional electric heating, the electric heating elements can become extremely hot. Think of your stove with temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F. However, the actual temperature of water would be dependent on the design.I would encourage consulting the manufacturer of the device you are interested in with any device specific questions.


Will it hurt your hot water heater to use all the hot water?

Hot water heaters (tank/storage type) have a supply line connected to your city or well water. The heater is either on or off depending on the temperature you set on that device. You will not hurt the system as it is designed to constantly heat the water until the temperature is raised to your set point. So the answer is that it neither hurts or helps you HWH.


In which direction does hot water move?

The heat from hot water in a water heater dissipates after time. Most newer hot water heaters only heat water when necessary. Older hot water heaters try to maintain a specific temperature for the hot water on a constant basis.

Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?

Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.


What are the benefits of a forced hot water heating system compared to other heating systems?

A forced hot water heating system is more energy efficient, provides consistent warmth, and is quieter compared to other heating systems like forced air or electric baseboard heaters.


What are the benefits of using a hot water baseboard heater in a residential setting?

Hot water baseboard heaters provide efficient and consistent heating, are relatively quiet, and can be zoned to control temperature in different areas of a home. They also have a longer lifespan compared to other heating systems.

What is the btu capacity per foot of hot water baseboard?

The BTU capacity per foot of hot water baseboard typically ranges from about 400 to 600 BTUs, depending on factors such as the water temperature, the specific design of the baseboard, and the spacing between the units. Standard baseboard heaters usually have a rated output of around 500 BTUs per foot at a water temperature of 180°F. It's essential to consider the specific model and the installation conditions to determine the exact capacity for a given application.

What are examples of types of home heating methods?

Examples of home heating methods include forced air furnaces, radiators, baseboard heaters, electric space heaters, and heat pumps. These systems use different processes like burning fuel, circulating hot water, or transferring heat from outside to keep your home warm.
